March 6, 2007

raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. coffee cups and muffins. elevator buttons and security guards. plush men's rooms with shoe polish and mouthwash. blownout Carhartts and asspocket U-locks. banana peels and orange peels.candy bars and gum wrappers. burritos and chili dogs. pedestrians and bus drivers. cab drivers and pedestrians. cops and cops. Police and the fuzz. Jonny Law and the five-oh. free food and cheap drinks. Mom & Pop stores holding on in the core. Service with a smile. Tall drip coffee no room no bullshit. Friendly receptionists. A well inked rubber stamp.  A direct question, a direct response. A quiet drive train. a well oiled machine. Competence, experience, confidence, respect. Getting what I paid for. Getting paid what I worked for.  Red lights that even the playing field, ie "I'll see you at the next intersection asshole" bike racks and bus stops. white shoes before Memorial Day. Dispatchers with issues. POD copy received signature round trip dedicated rushes. Are you a messenger? Do you know where the market is? Today is my Tuesday.  silver-white winters that melt into spring...these are a few of my favorite things.

Sam, is that you? I'm wearing a sweet Mudhoney T-shirt as we speak and it was hand delivered via messenger. I'm working on a shirt for you and it will be delivered to you soon, unless I drink too much, then it will be delivered to you later.

You said it. Memories of mamaries. Kids who like bikes. Friends not trends. Beers and leers. Flirts leading to squirts...wait, stop right there square. Okey dokey. EB
